Four Gorgeous Prints Reproducing Original Hand-Colored / Illuminated Family Histories. Each print measures 14x18”, including the white borders. The prints have a caption in their bottom border. There is also a 14x18” descriptive sheet that accompanies the prints. The 4 prints and the descriptive sheet are housed together in a paper portfolio. The four prints are:
(1) Register of WILLIAM DEGROOT’S FAMILY. Provides Names, Births, Marriages, Deaths, with dates ranging from 1751 (the birth dates of William and Ann Latourrette Degroot) through 1835 (the death of Henry Degroot).
(2) Birth and Baptismal Certificate of JOHANES MILLER of Pennsylvania. Text in Pennsylvania Dutch / German. Dates of 1788 and 1811.
(3) Birth, Baptismal, Confirmation, and Marriage Certificate of JOHANN NICHOLAUS LOTT. Text in Pennsylvania Dutch / German. Dates of 1769 and 1786.
(4) Birth, Baptismal, Confirmation, and Marriage Certificate of MARGARETHA SCHLOSSER SCHWARTZ. Text in Pennsylvania Dutch / German. Dates of 1773 through 1790.
GOOD CONDITION: The Prints and their Portfolio have been folded in half, each now has a folding crease across its center; the prints also have a lighter diagonal crease. The Prints are in otherwise Very Good condition, bright and clear. They would look beautiful mounted and/or framed. The descriptive sheet has some ink underlining and an ink line that marks a paragraph. The portfolio folder has two ink stamps on the front cover that read: AH PAMPHLET FILE (American Heritage Pamphlet File). The portfolio also has some wear to its edges, including some small closed tears, and some light stains and soiling, but is still doing its job well.
As these have been stored folded in half, they will be shipped folded.
